back to coverage of the presidential inauguration. we're joined by rich pearson. we are going through and dissecting the speech this time you were talking before we came back out about how different it was from four years ago. >> everybody talks about the grand tour, the history of the first african-american president. i think you're seeing is the president. what i think

what you saw on by many respects some of the director points he made. something that is very unusual hills are more traditionally the state of the union type items. at and what you saw here was a lack of reaching out to republicans. i think what you saw was a president who is confident of his political standing but also somebody who has been to the political wars of washington >> he did talk about the state of the union. i think in fairness he did not put any it agenda out. he talked about kids being safe. he did not talk about how you get there. if republicans are listening while they know he has to certain

things in mind, it is fair enough for them to say we will talk about that. they agree with the conceptual ideas. we just have to talk about how to get there. >> he did step back by saying whatever we do here is going to be imperfect. that was kind of >> and as for the following generations to strive towards the perfect. >> when you go back to that speech four years ago even then he did reach out a little bit too republicans saying that in this grand door that we all looked at week proclaimed an end to the petty grievances and false promises of incrimination and worn out dog must that for far too long and strength of our politics. have strangled our politics. >> he has been there for years

in the white house. he has been a part of a struggle to try to get any part of his agenda pushed forward. if it does nothing more than make a realist out of the president so that now going into his last four years you know you can get through and you know you probably can't. in some cases might be able to get through. >> i do not think he is necessarily going to pick his fights. >> recognizing the fact that the affirmation of being reelected you still have divided government. there is a very limited amount of time for him to be able to move fourth with an agenda. the republicans cannot be able to be an obstacle

on totally one thing. they might be supportive of some other things. >> keep an eye on joe biden in these upcoming years. the ears talking about president obama but joseph biden was originally put on this ballot to strengthen the president's weak spots. what he has learned to do, he said he will work with the republicans of the house. he realized that he cannot. watch for joe biden to play that role additionally. watch for the president to know how to use him. joe biden has his eyes said on a presidential election of 2016. >> we just had this house republican retreat. if

this new idea of the next fiscal crisis that we face. i think it is recognition of the quick amount of support that this president has. they would get into a losing fight over that trying to buy a little bit more time and then basically pushing things. >> they're going to give him a three month window to address spending. before doing any serious hard cuts. >> inauguration as watched around chicago. the inauguration was watched across chicago. >> there is a lot still going on here. a lot of performances and activities for kids. people gathering to kind of remember and talk about this day. it is

not only the birthday of martin luther king jr. but it is also the second inauguration of the first african american president. it is a significant and symbolic day for all who gathered here. if >> it is the perfect storm of social justice. >> hundred together today to celebrate this day that many call monumental. >> all of our ancestors who worked so hard to make a day like this possible. >> possible for her to bring her children to the museum of african-american history and know they have endless possibilities. i let them know that whatever they want to be, whatever they are dreaming they definitely have an opportunity to let their dreams come to life.

>> i have the opportunity to see how others celebrate this day. >> has definitely been a culture shock. the kind of open rise to the different kinds of people and experiences. >> very somber moment here. >> to earlier today there was a huge crowd gathered. you can tell every once in awhile. [inaudible] >> everybody in the auditorium picked up the rest of the song. everybody getting into the spirit today. it is really cool to be a part of this whole thing. lots of things happening

throughout the rest of the debt. day. >> former president bill clinton and jimmy carter joined the lawmakers at the capitol for president obama ceremonial swearing-in. they're the only living democrat to occupy the white house. former first lady accompanied her husband to the ceremony. during his inauguration in 1977 president carter shun the custom and walked from the capitol to the executive mansion. he was joined by mrs. carter and his three children. >> farmer president clinton was accompanied by his wife secretary of state hillary clinton. she's a former first lady and the current senior member of president obama cabinet. she is the first former first lady to serve in the presence cabinet.

>> we watched president obama sign that nomination after the ceremony. among the celebrities, beyonce performed the national anthem. jay-z was in the audience. >>jon mayer and katy perry alson in the crowd. eva l ongoria, marlon wayans, john legend. >> all of the entertainment is hot on social media right now. flat >> >> everybody is talking about those performances. you can see

beyonce, kelly clarkson gabor. >> from president obama to kelly clarkson to beyonce and have permanent chills. i think bill clinton was a fan. >> they put together their own twitter handle. a lot of pictures they were taking from today. we see this one here. an audience member takes a moment to enjoy the day. this man handing out flags. oslo lot of volunteers out there. people are

looking back in time. here's this date in history january 21st 1905. the inauguration day. the inauguration of teddy roosevelt. >> kinds of interesting stuff on here. people had some really interesting things to say about it to say the least. finally the one thing i know you want to

know about michelle obama and her fashion today. i have this written down because >> apparently it is a tom brown coat. she also wore a tall brown dress. hyerher belt is from j. crew. i'm sure it is already sold out. i know they put up extra cell towers, it seems like they did not have a problem. >> we were talking earlier about the crowds may be being smaller than last time. of course they probably wear. we never know because i saw last tweets coming from the inauguration. that could be because of coverage. maybe people are so wrapped up in a moment. you see if more pictures, hours later.

>> of the things that happened four years ago was that the mall so crowded that one. they shut it down. >> those who wanted to go to watch the parade but at some point along the parade route everything was closed. you cannot get in or out. >> jimmy carter got out from the very beginning. the secret service for it out. there was a moment >> it was so cold for years ago that there was some question if you would get out of his car at all. they did it at some point.

plenty of big interestdignitaries that never got through security line for this event. it is really amazing. we had to go in last year at 4:00 in the morning. we got there at 7. he had to remain inside of your position. that was the cost of security they had for us. >> it was close to 2 million last time. if you remember that that stretch of the mall. it went as far as the eye can see. they're still talk of 500,000.

>> i get that. if you think about it, one could argue this is even more stark. this is a reelection of the first african american president. you cannot say that american did not mean it. men to it and stuck with it the second time. ♪ you know my heart burns for you... ♪ i'm up next, but now i'm singing the heartburn blues. hold on, prilosec isn't for fast relief. cue up alka-seltzer. it stops heartburn fast. ♪ oh what a relief it is! ♪ [ "i'm only human" plays ]
